Program Commitments The MTA’s goal is to award at least $6.2 B in total project work to third-party contractors or in-house teams in 2021. Our goal for Q1 is $865 M, which we are on target to meet.
Through February, MTA agencies have committed $589 million in awards, including:
• Purchase of 27 Metro-North passenger-service locomotives ($353 M) • Normal replacement of signals on LIRR ($22M) and Main Line high speed track turnouts ($45 M)
Program Completions The value of the project work that is completed in a given year is one of the metrics that MTA C&D uses to measure progress on the Capital Program. C&D plans to complete a record $7.2 B of work in 2021, including 51 major completions (a major completion is one with a significant dollar value or high visibility). Our goal for Q1 is $510 M in completions.
Through February, MTA agencies have completed $131 M worth of projects, including:
• New power substation for SIR in Tottenville • Tunnel lighting on the Queens Boulevard Line from Roosevelt Ave to Elmhurst Ave

Project Highlight: LIRR Expansion – Grade Crossing Eliminations in February, MTA C&D closed the Main Street railroad crossing in Mineola, the final railroad crossing to be permanently eliminated as part of the LIRR Expansion Project. In total, MTA has eliminated eight crossings since 2019, enhancing safety and service reliability, and reducing traffic and noise in adjacent communities.
The Covert Avenue crossing closed on Apr 15, 2019 and reopened as an underpass on Oct 12, 2019.
The Urban Avenue crossing closed Mar 8, 2019 and reopened as an underpass Sep 6, 2019.
The New Hyde Park Road crossing closed on Feb 3, 2020 and reopened on Aug 24, 2020.
The School Street crossing closed on May 18, 2020 and reopened as an underpass on Nov 13, 2020.
The South 12 Street crossing closed on Oct 24, 2020 and is being rebuilt as an underpass for pedestrians, to open in summer 2021.
The Main Street crossing is closed and being rebuilt as a pedestrian overpass with elevators, to open in spring 2021.
Two adjacent crossings at Willis Avenue closed on Nov 30, 2020. They are being rebuilt as an underpass scheduled to open in the fall. One of those crossings is on the Main Line and one is on the Oyster Bay Branch.
Project Highlight: New Substations on the Canarsie L Line at Maspeth & Harrison MTA C&D is nearing completion on two brand-new underground substations on the Canarsie L Line. These substations will increase traction-power capacity, and maximize the benefits of modern CBTC signals on the L Line by providing enough power and redundancy for more frequent and reliable service. Both facilities have been outfitted with all new electrical, mechanical, fiber optic and communications equipment, and are waiting for Con Edison to energize them with high-tension electrical service. The Maspeth Substation was awarded as Design-Bid-Build, while Harrison Substation was awarded as Design-Build. Both substations will be placed into service in May 2021.
Harrison Substation Maspeth Substation
Project Highlight: ADA at Court Square Station The Manhattan-bound side of the Court Sq-23 St (E-M) subway station in Long Island City, Queens, is now ADA accessible. The station upgrades, which include a new elevator and ramp, and a widened staircase, were completed through MTA C&D’s Transit-Oriented Development Program and the External Partner Program, leveraging private-development investment in the neighborhood. Plans are underway to make the Queens-bound platform ADA accessible as part of the 2020-2024 Capital Plan.
Program Highlight: Building Near Transit The MTA supports public and private initiatives to create new development projects above and around our train stations, as these investments are critical to the region’s economy and quality of life. Leveraging private-development investments also helps to increase accessibility on the MTA network.
C&D’s External Partner Program guides public- and private-sector designers and contractors through the technical implementation of projects that require MTA review and approval. EPP supports our partners through design and constructability reviews, construction initiation and oversight, and project close-outs. EPP also reviews and approves thousands of private development projects as well as public-agency projects being built within 200 feet of MTA property.
The program was launched in 2020 to improve transparency, consistency, accountability and collaboration with our partners. The program is reducing turnaround times. Roughly $1 M in applicant fees has been collected already, making the program self-funded.
C&D’s Transit-Oriented Development Team collaborates with property owners and municipalities across the region to promote development around transit stations that increase accessibility and provide housing, retail shops, office and public improvements. We work with municipalities and community groups wanting to improve neighborhoods around MTA train stations. We also provide guidance to property owners seeking to conform with zoning regulations near transit. Once concepts are developed, projects are handed over to the External Partner Program for design and construction.
Recently completed: One Vanderbilt, Court Square, LIRR Wyandanch Village TOD Under construction: MNR Harrison Station TOD, Queens Plaza In procurement: LIRR Westbury Station TOD

C&D’s last report to the Capital Program Committee on Infrastructure Projects was in October 2020.

207 St Yard for NYCT C34838 P36450 S32150 C34849 C34869 S32156
This project repairs damage to the 207 St Yard caused by Hurricane Sandy and fortifies it against future flooding events. The 43acre yard services trains on the A, C and 1 lines. The project bundle is comprised of six components: Perimeter Walls and Gates, Tunnel Portal, Traction Power Cable Replacement, Signals (including two new relay buildings), Yard Track, and Yard Switches. PROJECT STATUS Original Forecast
Substantial Completion Nov 2023 Nov 2023
In Q2 2018, NYC Transit bundled together multiple projects at the 207 St Yard to ensure central single point management of the many overlapping projects in the yard. The project is now administered by one C&D Project CEO, and one project management team oversees multiple contractors in the yard. The single point of control on these projects has allowed C&D to allocate resources more efficiently, which is particularly important as space in the yard is very constrained. Consolidation has also reduced management costs and helped maintain schedule. Recent activities:
Track work, traction power, preliminary signal and structural work.
Ten week “General Order” shutdown for a Track in the 207 St yard. Looking ahead:

Bus Radio Project for NYCT W32366
The project involves implementing a new digital bus radio system for NYCT and MTA Bus. The project includes: 1) constructing 35 new radio base station sites throughout the five boroughs on properties owned or leased by the MTA; 2) retrofitting the entire fleet of buses (approx. 6,000) and nonrevenue vehicles with new radio equipment; and 3) Furnishing a new radio control and dispatch system in the new Bus Command Center. PROJECT STATUS Original Forecast
Substantial Completion Dec 2020 Dec 2021
Budget $274.2 M $293.8 M
The project is a DesignBuild contract awarded in 2016 to Parsons Transportation Group (PTG). C&D assumed responsibility for the project in Q2 2020. The project is currently running approximately one year late with the risk of further slippage. Recent milestones:
Utility, real estate and access issues affecting the construction of the new radio base stations have been resolved. Construction is nearing completion at all 35 base stations.
The new command center has been completed, and training of MTA staff is underway
Factors that continue to affect progress:
PTG has not been able to meet the MTA’s quality control requirements. To address: o PTG has replaced their quality manager o Additional quality management staff specializing in technology
has been assigned to the project to join the project o Clever Devices (a key supplier of the tech radio kits) is recertifying
quality of bus install kits o PTG will enhance its fault traceability program and record keeping
PTG has had difficulty proving the technology for the ongoing Staten Island radio pilot program, which is on the critical path of the project. Complications were added recently due to enhanced MTA security requirements resulting from global MTA security concerns.
Decision to install bus kits in two steps to mitigate past radio tower permitting problems has not proven successful. To mitigate schedule slippage PTG is planning to shift back to a onestep install.
PTG is negotiating with specialist installers as subcontractors.
COVID delayed field activities and training.

Coney Island Yard Long Term Flood Mitigation
MTA C&D Infrastructure
Coney Island Yard Long Term Flood Mitigation
Scope of Work: Super Storm Sandy flooded and damaged the Coney Island Yard
with seawater. The scope of this project includes construction of a perimeter protection wall to provide long-term resiliency against future flooding.
Major project elements include:
Constructing 5,000 linear feet of bridges to elevate power and signal cable.
Constructing a perimeter protection wall approximately 12 to 15 feet above and 30 feet below grade.
Constructing approximately 25,000 linear feet of new pipe to provide drainage.
2
Budget:
Based on the IEC’s review of the project expenditures, contingency, work in place, soft costs, change orders and risks, the IEC concurs with the agency’s Estimate at Completion of $514.3M, which equals the project budget. However, scope changes underway have not been incorporated into the budget/EAC amounts.
Schedule:
NTP was March 30, 2018. The original completion date is September 30, 2022, which is a 54-month project duration. The February 2021 contractor’s schedule, which the agency has not approved, indicates the project completion date is December 2022, which reflects a delay, due to unforeseen site conditions, of 3 months as previously reported at CPOC.
C&D has directed the contractor to re-sequence the work so that the fabricator can continuously progress the work to address the delay of cable bridge activities, due to unforeseen field conditions.
The project is 52% complete with 61% of the time having elapsed.
The IEC has reviewed the schedule logic, constraints, resources and it is our opinion that the delay of three months is not recoverable.
3
Risk:
The existing Circuit Breaker House (CBH) is deteriorated and would expose the new equipment, installed under this contract, to the weather. Therefore, as part of C&D’s acceleration program and given the contractor is currently performing work on-site, a change order for a new CBH is being negotiated. There is, however, risk that this construction may have commercial and schedule impacts on the overall project.

Clifton Shop (NYCT/SIR) (Sandy)
Clifton Shop
Project Scope:
The Clifton Maintenance shop for Staten Island Railroad (SIR) is located approximately 250 feet from the shoreline on the corner of Front and Bay streets in Staten Island. This project replaces the existing shop buildings that were damaged by flood waters during superstorm Sandy. The existing Clifton Shop facility consisted of four buildings: a paint shop, diesel shop, storage, and MUE shop. A critical requirement of this program is for the MUE shop to remain operational during all phases of the shop replacement.
This project will consolidate all shop functions and SIR administrative offices in one state-of-the-art facility designed for SLOSH Category 2+3’ flood resiliency.
There are separate and concurrent projects underway for the Clifton yard track replacement and traction power work, and the new Clifton DC substation.
The delivery method for the Clifton Shop replacement project is design-build. The work of the design-build contract is phased as follows:
Phase 1 (completed): Initial removals, relocations, staging.
Phase 2 (completed): Demolition of the existing diesel and paint shops. Contaminated soil found during this phase has impacted the project schedule.
Phase 3 (underway): Construction of the new maintenance facility. Completion of this phase will occur with beneficial use of the new facility.
Phase 4 (will follow Phase 3 completion): Demolition of the remaining former shop buildings.
Phase 5 (will follow Phase 4 completion): Final site work and site finishes. Completion of this phase will occur when the project reaches substantial completion.
2
Clifton Shop
Schedule Review:
Current contractor schedule updates project beneficial use in June 2021 and substantial completion in December 2021. The IEC concurs with Agency projections that there may be additional delays to beneficial use (Phase 3 completion). The IEC also notes that any delay in achieving beneficial use is likely to delay substantial completion.
NTP was December 30, 2016. The original design-build contract duration was 43 months, with phase 3 completion (beneficial use) on January 7, 2020 and phase 5 completion (substantial completion) on July 31, 2020.
Several time extensions were granted, increasing the contract duration to 48 months. The contract completion date has passed with 83% of the work of the contract completed. Additional time extensions are under review.
Remaining work required to achieve beneficial use consists primarily of interior finishes, testing and commissioning, and satisfying code compliance requirements to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy.
3
Clifton Shop
Budget Review: The current budget and Agency EAC for Clifton Shop is $211.5M.
IEC analysis indicates the budgeted reserve may not be sufficient to cover additional costs due to ongoing schedule delays. The IEC estimate at completion (EAC) indicates up to $3M in additional funding may be required to complete the program scope. The IEC EAC includes the following:
Projected contractor and Agency management costs from current contract completion of December 2020 to the projected completion date of December 2021.
A construction contingency of 5% of remaining work.
Potential cost impacts of open litigations and remaining risks outlined below that are not included in Agency budget projections.
Risk Review: As the Clifton Shop project nears completion, most construction risks have been closed. The remaining major risks to cost and schedule are:
Phase 3 completion (beneficial use) of the shop may be impacted if issues arise during testing and commissioning that require rework on systems such as fire alarm. The project team is mitigating this risk by engaging a specialized consultant to lead the testing and commissioning efforts on Clifton Shop.
Phase 4 demolition of the existing shop may incur cost and schedule impacts if additional unforeseen hazardous materials are discovered during this phase. Unforeseen hazardous materials impacted the initial demolitions during Phase 2 of this project.

Rutgers Tube Rehabilitation
Rutgers Tube Rehabilitation (Design/Build)
Scope of Work: Rutgers Tunnel (twin tubes that run between E. Broadway Station
in Manhattan and York Street Station in Brooklyn on the F Line) incurred significant damage as a result of Super Storm Sandy. The scope of this project, which incorporates the lessons learned from the successful Canarsie Tube, is to restore this tunnel structure and its system to a State of Good Repair and provide long-term resiliency measures against future flooding. Major project elements include: Design, furnish and install a new cable management racking system. Install a fiber optic cable network and power system within the tube for
future cellular service. Replacement of 9,300 linear feet of Continue Welded Rail (CWR) and
4,600 feet of track components (ties and plates); remove and reinstall existing contact rail; replace/relocate signal heads, stop machine and signal cables at multiple locations.
Remove and replace 8 sewer pumps, controls, heat trace, and insulation of discharge lines in four (4) pump rooms.
2
Budget: Based on the IEC’s review of the project expenditures,
contingency, work in place, soft costs and risks, the IEC concurs with the agency’s Estimate at Completion of $172M, which equals the project budget.
Schedule: NTP was July 28, 2020 with a completion date of August 28, 2021,
which is a 13-month project duration. The contract was awarded to J-Track/TC Electric Rutgers JV.
The contractor’s baseline schedule indicates the Substantial Completion date is August 2021. Based on our analysis, the schedule logic and activity durations support
the contractor will meet that date.
The following are the two incentive milestones: Milestone #1 – Completion of E. Broadway Station work on February 16,
2021. All work has been completed and this milestone has been achieved.
Milestone #2 – An incentive payment will be made to the contractor if track work is completed on or before March 29, 2021. Long lead items have been ordered; however, delivery is tracking two weeks late, causing this milestone payment to be at risk.
3
Observation:
Long lead items for the supervisory control system (SCADA) have been ordered, however, delivery is tracking two weeks behind schedule. This may impact the contractor’s ability to meet the agreed upon GO schedule and impact NYCT’s effective use of their force account labor.

207th Street Flood Mitigation and Sewer Replacement
Scope of Work:
207th Street Yard sustained extensive saltwater damage during Super Storm Sandy. The saltwater from the Harlem River flooded the yard and consequently the 200th Street and 207th Street interlockings located on the 8th Avenue 'A' line.
Major project elements include: Construction of two new relay room buildings, five new Central
Instrumentation House locations and one enclosures to house new equipment for signals and auxiliary systems.
Repair or replace track system damaged by Super Storm Sandy. Design, furnish, install, test and place in-service new signal system
and auxiliary support systems throughout the 207th Street Yard, and modify tie-ins (interfaces) with the main line.
Provide temporary crew quarters to accommodate services and personnel affected by the work under this contract.
2
207th Street Yard and Shop Flood Mitigation
Budget: Based on the IEC’s review of the project’s costs, contingency, work
in place, soft costs, pending change orders and risks, the IEC concurs with the agency’s Estimate at Completion of $635.4M which equals the project budget.
Schedule: NTP was issued September 4, 2018. The contract completion date is
November 4, 2023, which is a 62-month project duration. The IEC performed a schedule analysis (update #25) and find the
logic, durations, resources and constraints support the current Substantial Completion (SC).
While the signal equipment delivery is now expected to be late, the contractor is making every effort to complete the project utilizing the existing project schedule contingency.
3
Top risks and mitigations: Risk - Solid state interlocking equipment, relay room equipment
and cable delivery
Mitigation – A C&D Project Controls Manager is in place in the factory to monitor quality and signal equipment production. Also, C&D is now meeting with signal contractor bi-weekly (vs. monthly) on delivery of long lead signal equipment procurement and installation items.
Risk - contractor interface during construction
Mitigation – CM/CCM coordinate with contractors on other contracts working at 207th St yard to avoid interferences.
Risk - contractor coordination with NYCT Yard Operations
Mitigation - CM/CCM and the contractors have agreed with the yardmaster and NYCT Operations Planning on a revised outage schedule. Weekly communications take place to coordinate all work.
IEC sees these actions as appropriate to address these risks.
4
Observations: Risk Assessment refresher for 207th St Yard was performed in the fall
and has served as a useful tool for the project to maintain the schedule.
An updated site work plan, revised track and signal work plan and G.O. phasing plan have been developed and implemented.
C&D has undertaken a program-wide schedule analysis of contractor's work across all signal projects, with consideration of resources including manpower, shop constraints and specific project need dates.
5
207th Street Sewer Replacement
Scope of Work:
207th Street Yard sustain extensive water damage during Super Storm Sandy from the brackish water from the Harlem River. This project will relocate NYC owned sewers to outside 207th Street Yard.
Major project elements include: Removing and relocating the existing DEP regulator, diversion chamber, tide
gates, and internal sanitary service connections in the yard. Construct new project elements for the relocated sewer. Installation of reinforced sewer lines and back-water valves.
6
Budget: Based on the IEC’s review of the project’s costs, contingency, work
in place, soft costs, pending changes and risks, the IEC concurs with the agency’s Estimate at Completion of $152.4M which equals the project budget.
Schedule: NTP was December 27, 2019. The original contract completion date
was February 28, 2024, which is a 50-month project duration. The IEC performed an analysis of the contractor’s schedule update
#7 which reflects progress through February 2021. The IEC analysis indicates that the project will meet the Substantial Completion date of February 2024.
7
Top risks and mitigations:
Risk - coordination with utility companies may take longer than anticipated impacting the schedule. Utility companies may not perform the work as scheduled. Mitigation – CM/CCM are coordinating with utility companies for early
identification and scheduling of critical utility activities.
Risk - coordination with other work underway at the yard may prevent contractor to follow its plan. Mitigation – contractor participates in coordination meetings with the
Yardmaster, Operations Planning and other on-site contractors.
Risk - The 207th Street site has a history of industrial use. The actual site conditions may differ from those identified in the contract documents. Mitigation – contractor test pits and borings cover the entire project
footprint.
8
Observation: Project has worked well coordinating work with the numerous yard
contractors and with the outside agencies around the perimeter of the yard.
The IEC is concerned that performance of 3rd party utility contractor may impact the completion of this project by not relocating utilities lines within the schedule window.
9
Bus Radio System
Bus Radio System (Design/Build)
Project Scope: Project provides for a new integrated digital bus radio system for
NYCT and MTA Bus, and includes: Installation of 35 base stations throughout the five (5)
boroughs and Kearny, New Jersey Outfitting over 6,000 buses with new radio equipment Outfitting the new Bus Command Center (BCC) with bus
dispatch consoles and radio equipment hardware and software to support voice and data traffic between the BCC and individual or group of buses
2
Budget: Current budget is $291M with Estimate at Completion (EAC) of
$294M. Costs due to continuing delays will likely require a budget
modification.
3
Schedule: Contractual Substantial Completion (SC) was January 2021. C&D
now forecasts completion by December 2021. Contractor’s recent schedule update, which has not been
accepted by C&D, shows a March 2022 SC. Schedule continues to slip; C&D is increasing pressure on the Contractor to recover schedule.
Field progress based on payments is at 71%. Completion of base station installations, bus equipment installations, and testing and commissioning of the system are remaining.
The IEC finds that timely completion depends upon a successful pilot, increased staffing, increased productivity, and improved quality and workmanship.
4
Activity Completion Date Completion Date
Bus Command Center December 2020 January 2021
Base Station Installation June 2021 July 2021
Pilot Testing December 2020 July 2021
Bus Installation June 2021 March 2022
Substantial Completion July 2021 March 2022
Schedule: Bus Installation
Thirteen (13) buses have been fully installed with on-board equipment. Pilot test is delayed until 200 buses are fully installed, and pilot site acceptance tests have been completed, 7-month slip since last report.
Based on IEC analysis, performance to date, and the time required to complete bus equipment installation, planned 40 bus installations per day is not achievable.
Base Station Installation Construction of 7 out of 35 base stations is complete, with
some testing and commissioning remaining. Remaining sites are in various stages of completion:
Approximately half of remaining sites are over 85% complete.
Issues with several sites, including finalization of agreements such as Kearny, New Jersey, are being addressed for installation work to start.
Completion of base stations by July 2021 milestone will be challenging.
5
Project Risk: Bus installation remains the highest risk to project schedule and is
driving the critical path. Contractor must address several issues including training and quality to advance to bus equipment installation.
6
Observations: Contractor has not demonstrated the ability to effectively
manage the project; and has not provided a proper path to completion. The IEC has little confidence that the project can be completed by the latest schedule completion date.
Contractor is having difficulty meeting the MTA quality standards, particularly bus installation. C&D has requested that the Contractor provide Quality Assurance Plan to allow this work to resume.
Contractor must ensure that coverage, performance and quality requirements are not impacted by schedule delays and mitigations.
7
Harmon Shop Replacement Phase V Stage 2
Program Scope: Phase V Stage 2 of the Harmon Shop replacement is the final stage of a multi-phase program of capital improvements and upgrades at MNR's Croton-Harmon Shops and Yards. Previous phases: Phase I (completed): Yard Infrastructure Phase II (completed): MoW Bldg, Communication Building, Material Distribution Center addition. Phase III (completed): Wheel True Facility, Coach and Locomotive Shops Phase IV (completed): Priority roof repairs to Building #6 Phase V (current): Consist Shop (CSF), EMU Annex, EMU Running Repair and Support Shop (RRSS) and blowshed.
Current Phase: The current and final Phase V replaces the old equipment maintenance facility (Building 6) with new Electric Car and Support Shop facilities. The work of Phase V is being completed in two separate design-build contracts: Phase V - Stage 1: Nearing completion with some punch list work remaining. Stage 1 scope includes the design and construction of the new Consist Shop and EMU Annex Buildings. This phase also completed the required preliminary Engineering design work for both the Stage 1 and Stage 2 contracts. Phase V - Stage 2 (current work): The scope of work includes the demolition of the remainder of Building 6 as well as the associated Building 5 storeroom and the construction of the balance of the Phase V Electric Car Shop and Support Shop facilities. This Stage 2 EMU Running Repair and Support Shop Facility will be constructed directly adjacent to the Phase V Stage 1 Consist Shop and will be connected to the Stage 1 EMU Annex Building via a second floor overpass connection.
2
Schedule Review:
NTP was October 31, 2018. The original design-build contract duration was 48 months, with completion on October 30, 2022.
A six-month time extension was granted for Stage 1 schedule impacts to the Stage 2 contract. The revised contract completion is now April 30, 2023. No additional Stage 1 impacts to Stage 2 are anticipated.
Since last report, the contractor’s schedule slipped 6 weeks and now indicates substantial completion (SC) on June 2, 2023.
IEC analysis indicates that the work of the contract is 27% complete and progress to date is consistent with tracking milestones in the contractor’s revised schedule. The IEC concurs with the substantial completion date of June 2, 2023.
Current Status: Current construction activities include site utilities, dewatering, controlled inspections, excavation of elevator pits and construction of the shop foundation. Completed milestones: The design build team has completed all design packages. Relocations have been completed by third party SBMP contractors. Demolition of Bldgs. 5 and 6 is completed and the adjacent yard has been
turned over to Stage 2 construction forces. Upcoming critical milestones: Completion of shop foundation in June 2021 Completion of structural steel in December 2021

Budget Review: The current program budget of $439.6M has not changed since award. IEC analysis of project costs, work in place, contingency draw-down, pending
changes and outstanding risks indicates the project remains within budget.
Top Risks: The top cost and schedule risk facing the project at this time is potential impacts related to delays in turning over a portion of the South yard to the design-builder. The project team is mitigating impacts by resequencing work between the North and South yards. Completing the North yard earlier than plan poses challenges to the project team due to required concurrence from MNR transportation and maintenance of equipment MOE groups to minimize impact to yard operations.
IEC Observations: In the IEC’s opinion, the management of the Harmon Shop program is sound, and no recommendations are required at this time.

MTA Capital Core Project Terms and Definitions 4th Quarter 2020 Traffic Light Report

Projects in Construction: 258

Projects impacted by Covid19 (Temporary TLR Criteria): 3
Projects in this category have triggered one or more reporting variances that are impacted by the Covid19 pandemic. The Key Performance Indicators have exceeded one or more of the Traffic Light reporting thresholds this quarter, however, a project issue has been directly attributed to Covid19. The issues may include; the implementation of safety protocols, new work rules and occupancy restrictions, travel limitations, reduced personnel availability, funding delays, etc. Covid19 is a temporary imposition on the MTA’s Capital Program and therefore a temporary TL has been developed for these projects.
Projects in Design: 25
Green: Indices less than 110% and index movement of less than 10%.
Red: Cost Index An EAC increase of 10% (or index movement of 10% or more since last Traffic Light Report). Red: Schedule Variance An increase of 3 months or more to substantial completion since last Traffic Light Report. Previous Red: Previously indicated as red with no new substantial change since last Traffic Light Report / A project in design that has been designated as Previous Red may be returned to Green when it has been in compliance with the two performance indicators for two consecutive quarters.

Projects impacted by Covid19 (Temporary TLR Criteria) (cont’d):
Red Lined: Cost Index An increase of 10% (or index movement of 10% or more since the last Traffic Light Report).
Red Lined: Schedule Variance An increase of 3 months or more to substantial completion since the last Traffic Light Report.

Report Index Formulas and Criteria:
Cost Index = Total Project EAC / Current Approved Budget (Note: Current Budget is not Budget at Award)
Cumulative Cost Variance = 3 consecutive quarters with a total cost index increase that cumulatively exceeds the TLR threshold of 10% over 3 quarters.
Schedule Variance = Number of months of change in schedule since last Traffic Light Report
Cumulative Schedule Variance = 3 consecutive quarters with a total change in schedule that cumulatively exceeds the TLR threshold of 3 months or more.

Project Description
This project will achieve full ADA accessibility at Gun Hill Road Station on the Dyre Avenue Line in the Bronx by installing two ADA compliant elevators and associated equipment and modifying station elements including, columns, girders, stairs and fare arrays.
Problem Since Last Quarterly Report Index Trigger(s): Schedule
Schedule: During the Fourth Quarter 2020, the forecasted Substantial Completion date slipped 2 months from November 2020 to January 2021, slipping a combined total of 6 months over the last three quarters. This was due to three Additional Work Orders (AWOs): one for modification of the entrance canopy structure, one for the platform reconstruction and one for modification of the fire sprinkler and fire alarm system.
What is Being Done
Schedule: The work described in the AWOs are ongoing; while the AWO costs are covered through project contingency funds, a budget modification for the additional EFA and TA Labor needs to address the potential overruns is under review. Upon completion, it will be circulated for the approval. An extension of time is also under review for the contract completion. Elevators were placed in service in December 2020, and subsequent to the reporting period, Substantial Completion of the contract has slipped an additional two months to March 2021.
IEC Comment
Budget and Schedule Performance: The IEC substantially agrees with the material presented in this report, including the stated problems and actions taken by the Agency.
All Agency Contractor Evaluation: The Overall Contractor/Consultant performance rating for the current All- Agency Contractor Evaluation (ACE) report for this project is consistent with the IEC’s observation of project performance, during this reporting period.
MTA Agency: New York City Transit Status as of December 31, 2020
Project Name: ADA - Gun Hill Road Station - Dyre Avenue Line
Current Budget: $60.0M Project EAC: $61.0M Substantial Completion Date at Award: Jun 2020
Project No: T7041305 Current Substantial Completion Date: Jan 2021 Project Phase: Construction Phase Complete: 93%

This project will correct sign inconsistencies by updating information, responding to vandalism and complying with Federal regulations by installing more durable wayfinding, Station ID, safety & ADA signage throughout NYCT Subway System.
Schedule: During the Fourth Quarter 2020, the forecasted Substantial Completion date slipped 12 months from December 2020 to December 2021, due to signage resources being needed for other priority projects such as Second Avenue Subway & the Enhanced Station Initiative. For the duration of the SAS/ESI projects, signage personnel were unable to dedicate time for survey, design & installation of porcelain signs under this contract. After those projects were completed, the program area continued the permanent signage replacement program but were 12 months behind their schedule. Also, COVID-19 quarantines and alternating personnel schedules (to follow social distance requirements), throughout 2020, reduced sign fabrication & installation totals.
What is Being Done
Schedule: Signage procurement will continue with the vendor up until the end of 2021, which marks substantial completion of the contract. Installation of final signs will continue up until March 2022 in the closeout phase.
IEC Comment
All Agency Contractor Evaluation: An Agency ACE evaluation is not required for this project.
Project Name: Station Signage Improvements Current Budget: $10.8M Project EAC: $10.2M Substantial Completion Date at Award: Dec 2020
Project No: T7041401 Current Substantial Completion Date: Dec 2021 Project Phase: Construction Phase Complete: 60%

Project Description
This project will bring boarding areas for 61 platform edges, at various stations, into Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance throughout the boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx. Existing ADA boarding zones in accessible stations will undergo retrofit work, which may involve replacing platform edge strips, rubbing boards, concrete slabs, and/or floor tiles.
Schedule: During the Fourth Quarter 2020, the forecasted Substantial Completion date slipped three months from December 2020 to March 2021 due to unavailability of General Orders (GOs) for remaining work at 2 locations: 34th/8th Track A4 and Marcy Avenue Tracks J1 & J2.
What is Being Done
Schedule: Subsequent to the reporting period, work was completed at 34th St./8th Ave. on February 19, 2020. The work at Marcy Avenue is scheduled for completion June 2021, pending GO availability. This is an additional 3 month slip, subsequent to the reporting period.
IEC Comment
All Agency Contractor Evaluation: An Agency ACE evaluation report is not required for this project.
Project Name: ADA - Platform Gap Retrofit - Various Locations
Current Budget: $10.7M Project EAC: $14.7M Substantial Completion Date at Award: Dec 2019
Project No: T6041304 Current Substantial Completion Date: Mar 2021 Project Phase: Construction Phase Complete: 94%

Project Description
This project will upgrade the boiler system at the 207th Street Yard Overhaul Shop to comply with New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) air emission regulations and permitting requirements. This project will also remediate soil contamination from the existing system, as required.
Schedule: During the Fourth Quarter 2020, the forecasted Substantial Completion date slipped seven months, from December 2020 to July 2021, due to unforeseen field conditions. Installation of the exhaust stacks for Boiler #1 took longer than anticipated due to the need to repair a damaged supporting wall. This wall repair work subsequently delayed the installation of the exhaust stacks for Boiler #1 and its upgrade. In addition, commissioning of the ancillary equipment is taking longer than anticipated. Modifications to the ancillary equipment recently proposed by the Designer of Record (DOR) will be implemented through AWO #15; which was negotiated. Since we are in the heart of the cold season, it is not recommended to have one boiler carry the steam load demand from the Overhaul Shop, Administration Bldg. and other sections of the yard, so the operation of the second of the two boilers is needed, and it cannot be taken out of service and upgraded until the end of the current heating season in late spring. Also, due to the unique boiler commissioning process.
What is Being Done
Schedule: Given this situation, the testing for Boiler #2 will be have to be postponed to the Fall of 2021, to the off- peak heating season which starts, October 15, 2021. The project CEO is discussing with the DOR, users and other key stake holders to see if there is any other alternative solution to perform the functionality testing as soon as possible. Subsequent to the reporting period, the project slipped an additional five months to December 2021, due to the boiler commissioning process. The 7-day commissioning of the second boiler, using natural gas, cannot be done during summer months as the testing requires a full load being placed on the system. This continuous functionality testing will generate heat that will impact the facility and staff during warm weather. Therefore, the testing had to be moved to the start of the next heating season.
IEC Comment
All Agency Contractor Evaluation: The overall Contractor/Consultant performance rating for the current All- Agency Contractor Evaluation (ACE) report for this project is consistent with the IEC’s observation of project performance, during this reporting period.
Project Name: 207th Street Overhaul Shop - Boiler Upgrades & Site Remediation
Current Budget: $10.8M Project EAC: $11.4M Substantial Completion Date at Award: Dec 2020
Project No: T6100454 Current Substantial Completion Date: Jul 2021 Project Phase: Construction Phase Complete: 77%

Project Description
This project will upgrade and repair the façade of the NYCT Livingston Plaza administrative facility and include additional perimeter protection improvements at sidewalk level.
Schedule: During the Fourth Quarter 2020, the forecasted Substantial Completion slipped six months, from December 2020 to June 2021. This was due to general contractor scheduling issues and NYCT installing temporary electrical cables on the contractor’s shed / scaffolding from an emergency generator on Schermerhorn Street up to the 13th floor. Some of the masonry restoration and perimeter protection work cannot be completed until the shed / scaffolding is removed. The temporary emergency generator / cables are required due to a catastrophic failure in one of the building’s emergency generators and will remain in-place until the generator is repaired.
What is Being Done
Schedule: Perimeter protection and masonry work is being progressed wherever possible with the shed / scaffolding posts in-place Subsequent to the reporting period, the project has slipped an additional 2 months to August 2021.
IEC Comment
All Agency Contractor Evaluation: The Overall Contractor/Consultant performance rating for the current All- Agency Contractor Evaluation (ACE) report for this project is consistent with the IEC’s observation of project performance, during this reporting period.
Project Name: Livingston Plaza - Façade Rehabilitation (Outstanding Work)
Current Budget: $51.5M Project EAC: $51.8M Substantial Completion Date at Award: Feb 2020
Project No: T6160717 Current Substantial Completion Date: June 2021 Project Phase: Construction Phase Complete: 65%

Project Description
This project involves the construction of a new vent plant at Forsyth and Delancey Streets in the Borough of Manhattan.
Schedule: During the Fourth Quarter 2020, the forecasted Substantial Completion date slipped 13 months, from October 2022 to November 2023, due to Con Edison changing their steam piping and electrical duct designs. They also did not come to the site to install required cables and house connections in a timely manner.
What is Being Done
Schedule: Con Edison provided the final design drawings for the steam and electrical duct. The project team has held meetings with Con Edison to apply some pressure to expedite. Now steam and electrical duct is completed and started Support of Excavation ( SOE) as planned.
IEC Comment
Project Name: Rehabilitation of the Forsyth St Vent Plant
Current Budget: $90.5M Project EAC: $90.4M Substantial Completion Date at Award: Oct 2022
Project No: T7060506 Current Substantial Completion Date: Nov 2023 Project Phase: Construction Phase Complete: 19%

Project Description
This project will completely rehabilitate the Burnside Substation and includes partial equipment replacement at the 184th Street Substation. The scope of work includes the removal of the existing oil filled transformer and associated equipment and replacing it with a new dry air cooled transformer and associated equipment.
Schedule: During the Fourth Quarter 2020, the forecasted Substantial Completion date slipped four months, from October 2020 to February 2021, due to delays associated with the installation of high-tension street ducts and cables by Con Edison at the Burnside Avenue Substation.
What is Being Done
Schedule: Con Edison has completed the installation of the street ducts and cables and other associated equipment at the substation. The contractor performed testing and inspections that are required in order to place the Burnside Avenue Substation into service. Subsequent to the reporting period, the projects slipped an additional two months to April 2021, due to the same reason above.
IEC Comment
Project Name: Substation Renewal at Burnside Avenue - Concourse Line
Current Budget: $22.9M Project EAC: $22.9M Substantial Completion Date at Award: Nov 2020
Project No: T7090201 Current Substantial Completion Date: Feb 2021 Project Phase: Construction Phase Complete: 97%

Project Description
This contract involves both the construction of a new, two unit, underground substation at Maspeth Avenue - Humboldt Street and the rehabilitation of Circuit Breaker Houses (CBH) #85 & #86, at the Myrtle Ave. Station. These improvements are required to augment power capacity appropriately in order to support an increase in train service on the Canarsie Line, due to the ongoing installation of the Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) system.
Schedule: During the Fourth Quarter 2020, the forecasted Substantial Completion (SC) date slipped four months from November 2020 to March 2021, due to ConEd’s required changes in the specification required to energize the high tension feeders. The current SC date was also impacted due to the following: The oil that was put in the transformer had to be retested to determine that it was still safe to use when the high tension feeders are energized. All required changes have been completed and the oil was retested and found to be safe. We are working with Con Edison to schedule a time when they will be available to energize the two high tension feeders. Currently Con Edison has no crews available during the day so the Construction Manger has proposed that Con Edison come from 4pm to 12pm to do the energization work. The project CEO is in constant communication with Con Edison on this issue.
What is Being Done
Schedule: Initially for the G&T Device issue, there were high level meetings between MTA C&D upper management and Con Ed upper management. Currently, NYCT Energy Management is in constant communication with Con Edison on crew availability to energize the two High Tension feeders. The Project CEO also is in constant contact with Con Edison in order to establish a date for energization. The dates for substantial completion are contingent upon energization of the feeders. Currently, Con Ed has a problem scheduling a crew to energize the two High Tension feeders and is trying to get a crew during the off hours from 4 PM to Midnight; subsequently, substantial completion slipped further to May 2021.
IEC Comment
Budget and Schedule Performance: The IEC substantially agrees with the material presented in this report, Including the stated problems and actions taken by the Agency.
All Agency Contractor Evaluation: The overall Contractor/Consultant Performance rating for the current All- Agency Contractor Evaluation (ACE) report for this project is consistent with the IEC’s observation of project performance during this reporting period.

Project No: T7090222 & T7090406 Current Substantial Completion Date: Mar 2021 Project Phase: Construction Phase Complete: 99%

Project Description
This project involves the construction of a new underground substation at Harrison Place in the Borough of Brooklyn to augment power capacity to appropriately support an increase in train services on the Canarsie Line in Brooklyn, due to the installation of the Communication Based Train Control (CBTC) system.
Schedule: During the Fourth Quarter 2020, the forecasted Substantial Completion date slipped four months from November 2020 to March 2021, due in part to Con Edison required upgrades which have been delayed. Con Edison has refused to energize the two High Tension feeders until the Con Edison Ground & Test Device was compliant to current Con Edison specifications.
What is Being Done
Schedule: The project is waiting for Con Edison to energize the service. Subsequent to this report, substantial completion has been revised to May 2021 to meet Con Edison’s schedule.
